Hi,
I am in the process of trying to install/upgrade to ArcDesktop 10.1. We currently have 9.3 SDE on an oracle 9i database. I have created a new oracle 11.2.0.2 database and brought over all of the schemas. I have installed ArcDesktop 10.1 and when trying to create a database connection with ArcCatalog I get a "failed to connect to the specified server. do you want to continue? Operation Failed." If I put in the tns name for the instance running the 9.3 SDE on the 9i database it will connect and ask me to upgrade. But the new database on 11gr2 fails.
I have tried ezconnect and tnsnames to the new 11gr2 database with 0 luck. I have tried the 10g client, 11gr1 client, 11.2.0.2 client, 11.2.0.3 client (the 32bit versions of all of them) and nothing works. I have read several threads with the same issue and the solution was to use the 32 bit client. My PATH and TNS_NAMES variables are set correctly. Of course I have no problem connecting to the database with sqlplus, etc.
The database is oracle 11.2.0.2 on oracle unbreakable linux 5.7.
When I enter the connection details, if i purposely put in an incorrect password it will tell me bad login information. So it is definitly hitting the database.
Any ideas? I could have missed something from the documentation.
Thanks
James
